Humulene

Humulene got its name because it is a predominant terpene in humulus lupus (better known as hops). Aside from lending beer its “hoppy” aroma, humulene expresses an appetite-stimulant quality, making it an ideal terpene for patients who are worried about gaining weight as a side effect of medicating with cannabis. Like other terpenes, humulene shows promise in inhibiting the growth of tumor/ cancer cells, and is useful for reducing inflammation.
